Trivia
Milla Jovovich has disowned the film, as she was disappointed on how it was handled by Sony, when the studio executives forced Kurt Wimmer to remove over 30 minutes of footage from the original cut. Kurt Wimmer has also disowned the final cut of the film, for not representing his original vision.

Goofs
When Six is hanging over the well, he knocks off his left shoe to check the depth of the well. After he is rescued, he and Violet walk through a door and he has his left shoe on.

Quotes
Violet: [to Six] Haven't you been paying attention? Killing is what I do. It's what I'm good at. I am a titan. A monolith. Nothing can stop me.

Crazy credits
The opening credits appear in a montage of "Ultraviolet" comic book covers.

The Screen Gems logo appears as a corner-box image on most of the covers, with each cover having a different style logo.

Alternate versions
There is an 'Unrated Extended Cut' available on DVD, this version runs to around 94 minutes and drastically improves the comprehensibility of the story. The major addition is of some voice-over exposition from Violet which mentions the affects of 'hemophagia' and more of her own personal story. There are also some alterations to combat scenes which were presumably edited for content.

Definitely not Equilibrium

Kurt Wimmer who wrote and directed Equilibrium, which imho is a great movie, failed miserably to repeat his former success. The idea's behind the movie had visible potential but unfortunately the execution was extremely poor. Bad acting, a confusing and altogether nonsensical story line, and most of all bad writing really killed this one for me. This movie seemed more like a commercial for CGI than anything else. The CGI however was excellent (except for the last scene, I guess they ran out of money)and probably the most interesting part of the movie. The action which is why I saw the movie suffered from repetition: from the characters, to the setups (Violet is being attacked when she is out-numbered), to the moves, unnecessary sword fighting when they have guns with bullets, unnecessarily repetitive situations (big circle everyone attacks at once and violet wins with ease no challenging battle), and a lack of depth. Kurt really missed the mark, better luck next time.
